Corey Taylor Reads Excerpt From New Book

Slipknot and Stone Sour member Corey Taylor's second book, "A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to Heaven: Or, How I Made Peace with the Paranormal and Stigmatized Zealots and Cynics in the Process," will be published next month by Da Capo Press.

In the clip available below, Taylor reads an excerpt from the book. Corey will also be making a few personal appearances to promote the book, as well as the comic based on Stone Sour's "House of Gold & Bones" album. Details are as follows:

taylor is a pretty good songwritter and not to bad when it comes to poetry, but i miss his early days with slipknot when he was 8, this guy today is talented yet just does not have that fire, anger and intensity that i enjoyed watching him display about 10 years ago.

I wouldn't jump to say that his "personality change", if you will, is totally attributed to money. Corey's been through a lot of landmark events through the last 10 years or so. He has a family now, he quit drinking, finally met his biological father a few years back, etc. People change drastically in a matter of years, and Corey's an example of that.
